RetroFlag figured what Analouge missed, having a spring dock is a good thing. I want this updated case, paired with my 8bitdo SF30Pro this should be an amazing Xcloud/Parsec/Moonlight handheld.
the fact that a version of it has a dock tells me you could be able to make a hardware ad-on with analog sticks and extra buttons on the sides. maybe add duo spearers too.
Sticks would be incredibly uncomfortable in that form factor. And why multiple? At most you could fit one on there without removing the speaker. And you'd only need 2 for like... Ape Escape and almost no other games that the system can actually play. It barely looks like an OG Gameboy already at this point. Adding more is gonna make it look like a mess.
If possible, I'd prefer to reconfigure the 2 new front buttons to L2 and R2. The missing analog stick is understandable for such a small vertical orientation device but I'm hoping to see something like a small C stick on N3DS on their next revision.
@@TakiUdon My idea: bring back the days of Gameboy accessories, like the Handy Boy and the Booster. With the USB C connection, it should be a trivial matter to add extra control options. Imagine the C stick addon for the original 3DS? Someone with a 3D printer should be able to whip up a dual stick and add missing buttons. Maybe it shows up as controller 2, but still inputs as player 1 in Retroarch.
@@deusexmachina558 Yeah. With the CM4 there are 32 variations (wifi/no wifi, 4 ram variations, 4 eMMC variations - 2x4x4 = 32). Too many SKUs, plus the chip shortage... There have never been many in stock, and now they're basically unicorns.
For the limiting factors of the case they should have just went with the Pi Zero 2. There is no reason to use the CM4 in this as there are only 2 back buttons. You will not be running PS1, Dreamcast or anything heavier than what a Pi Zero 2 can run due to the lack of buttons. It's 2 steps forward and 1 step back with this.
@@patrickriarchy6054 It's more like 2 steps forward and 2 steps backwards. Lol but it's also a step in the right direction. They just need to make some new improvements for the next model. Also can't forget this one has a dock. So even if you can't play them handheld, you can still play them on a tv.
Looks great! the dock is a nice option too, shame it has to be reboot to change modes though... Hopefully there's a way to swap themes depending on what mode you have it set to so you could have a minimized handheld theme and a full 16x9 docked them. Would also be nice if we could find a way of playing a different startup video per mode and turn on overlays in docked mode.
@@MegaManNeo I've seen on another review (ETA Prime), that it should suffice to push the sleep button and then connect the device to the dock. No reboot needed. He however did not say, if that also works the other way around.

Why are people always harping about batteries? Do you not know you can buy rechargeable batteries to put in any device that accepts them? It's a lot easier to source and replace bad rechargeable AAs than a lipo pack.
it costs near 200 euro when you add to ti a cm4 4gb wifi (if you ever find one in stock) it had no active cooling also it has no joystick so you can play these games that need the increased power it gives... so....you can just get a piboy with the same money...
@@overoula yes, it's only decent for up to n64 stuff I guess. I would have preferred 6 buttons and one analog. For the rest, you can underclock the cpu. But yeah, the cm4/rpi4 is quite power hungry by itself...

I really love my GPI original, always dreamed of owning a Gameboy as a kid. Probably skip this one tho as the Gameboy ergonomics are annoying. Shoulder buttons included.
I'm really interested in getting this case out. What specs do you recommend on the CM4 (RAM and eMMC storage)? Hoping to play up to PS1. I now understand Saturn is a bit of a pipe dream.
If you have a Pi 4 that you can use to set up the card that you'll use, I'd go with a 2GB CM4 Lite. If you don't have a Pi 4, I'd get 2GB + Wi-Fi and no eMMC.
Hey, i bought this case with rpi cm4. Dl recalbox 8 and i have a issue. Sd card not detected. i removed it many times but still not detected. Any idea plz ?
Goddammit and I just bought the retro flag pistation case with the screen and they come out with this. BTW I went to the Amazon link but the deluxe version is not listed.
As someone new to this kind of stuff, I got the same Cm4 that he showed but without the wifi, is there anyway to put the safe shutdown without the wifi connection?
Great video, but I believe you didn't elaborate on the dust getting in the screen like you said in 3:29. Did you say OCA? The first GPi Case had it? I don't live in dusty area, but I still don't want to clean the screen every month or so. Have you overexaggerated? Thank you
Both devices don't have an OTA screen. There is not really an easy way for dust to get inside the screen due to how it is housed, but it is possible. This is similar to the original PSP. I had to clean that screen one a year or so when I had an annoying piece of dust that I wanted to remove. I had one piece of dust on this device that I wanted to remove, so I took the time to fully clean it, and I am happy that I did. After two years, my first GPi Case has a bit of dust in it, but I didn't baby the device and took it many places.
@@TakiUdon Thanks a lot for the explanation! I was just about to buy the first one and RPiZero2. Fortunately I did not. Keep up your amazing work. Subbed.
It'll be much faster than the Pi Zero (or Pi Zero W), which can take around a minute to boot (depending on what OS you run, how many games are on it, how fast your microSD card is, if you have WiFi turned on, etc). The Pi Zero 2 with the same OS and games should boot in under 20 seconds. I expect this probably only takes 10-15 seconds. The Pi Zero has a single core clocked about 1GHz, whereas the Pi 4 has 4 cores and can be overclocked to 2Ghz.
@@dividion8102 Pi4(including CM4) has about a 9 second delay before it starts booting. I was told this is due to the DRAM calibration it does on power on and there is no work around. Best boot time I've ever achieved is about 30 seconds.
@@NScherdin Hmm. Now you've made me check since it's been awhile. I have a few non-CM4 Pi4s. My PiBoy DMG gets to the Retropie screen in 15sec, and finishes loading at 28sec. I guess I was thinking of my NESPi 4 which boots a little faster off the SSD. The CF card is definitely slower, but only a few seconds.
Is the deluxe version with the dock not purchasable yet? The links for the regular version and deluxe version on their website both lead to identical product pages with identical prices
huh, that's odd, surprised they could go that fast plus even though the product pages were identical, they had different ASINs something seems off here, but I guess it's just a matter of time to see what happens
did your review copy have a better screen than the actual retail device? because the one I got is a godawful tft with the worse pixel refresh I have ever seen. 2d background graphics in 8 and 16 bit games go dark as you scroll. its completely unplayable
Can you please provide a link and instructions for that WiFi mod/cable/pcb you added to your CM4? Also, you mentioned 2d game screen timing, did you apply the Retroflag display patch? Also, does the sleep/wake function work?
The Wi-Fi cable that I used actually came from a Retroid Pocket 2 :D As for the patch, I applied the patches on their GitHub page and that is what I am left with. The sleep function works well, but after 20 minutes, it goes into a super deep sleep that I can't wake it up from. I notified the company, so hopefully there is a fix.
yes and they cost the same if you ever find a cm4 4gb wifi.... gpi just have extra the dock but missing coolling which is needed for pi4 and joystick and have smaller screen also i think...
Honestly might get this over the analogue pocket for a better deal, decent hardware and the fact that itll be here much sooner then 2023. I’d love a pocket but dang thats such a long wait.
If you don't have game cartridges, an emulation machine will always be the better route. Analogue is amazing, but the wait is not worth it at the time.
I don't know if i'm doing something wrong every time I put my Sd card on it just stays on the boot menu and said SD card not detected and because of this I return the first one but when I receive the replacement unit i has the same problem so I don't know if I had bad luck and both units are defective or if im doing something wrong because I already did the path and I have tried with different images but it's always the same.

Gpi case 1 was perfect for me except for membranes and dpad. I love the oldskool batteries. I only play GB games. New case offers nothing better for me. Hard pass.
Right, but with the experience you have, if you didn’t own the original or it broke, would the 2 interest you, would you go for something else or just buy the V1 again?
@@Jay22222 That's a good question. At this moment I'm thinking about buying a second V1 as a backup. Only thing I hate about v1 (and maybe v2 too?) are those horrible membranes. I got 4 spare membranes, but they rip so easy. If somebody would make a full size DMG GB with perfect gameboy emulation, I would buy that. Don't need bells and whistles.
For me personally, I don't see the point of ruining a beautiful DMG look with a lot of extra buttons and an analog stick. I would play PS1 or Dreamcast on a different device. DMG is pure GB nostalgia for me. It was my first 'console' besides my Amiga computer in 1990. Those AA-batteries also add to that nostalgia and with 2450mah batteries I can play for almost 5 hours. So the GPi v1 did meet most of my expectations. But still dreamin of the ultimate DMG. Buying a modded (IPS) DMG with Everdrive would also be an option, but it gets pretty expensive and Everdrives are hard to get here in the Netherlands.
@@deepx77 Guess it depends on what you mean by perfect GB emulation, but Piboy DMG is a full size model and runs on a Pi4. Alternatively I think Analogue Pockets device is full size and uses FPGA for emulating GB.

I got 4 spare membranes, but they rip so easy. If somebody would make a full size DMG GB with perfect gameboy emulation, I would buy that. Don't need bells and whistles.
Soon
For me personally, I don't see the point of ruining a beautiful DMG look with a lot of extra buttons and an analog stick. I would play PS1 or Dreamcast on a different device. DMG is pure GB nostalgia for me. It was my first 'console' besides my Amiga computer in 1990. Those AA-batteries also add to that nostalgia and with 2450mah batteries I can play for almost 5 hours. So the GPi v1 did meet most of my expectations. But still dreamin of the ultimate DMG.
Buying a modded (IPS) DMG with Everdrive would also be an option, but it gets pretty expensive and Everdrives are hard to get here in the Netherlands.
@@deepx77 Guess it depends on what you mean by perfect GB emulation, but Piboy DMG is a full size model and runs on a Pi4. Alternatively I think Analogue Pockets device is full size and uses FPGA for emulating GB.
Oh no I just bought Analogue Pocket 🤦🏻
I liked the batteries. No China Bomb.
